Make struct v4l2_subdev capable of aggregating v4l2-ctrl-bindings -
media device configuration entries. Added are also functions for
validating support for the control on given media entity and checking

I still don't think this belongs here.

I think I told you about the generic pipeline configuration library I worked
on years ago; unfortunately it was left on prototype stage. Still, what I
realised was that something very similar is needed in that library ---
associating information to the representation of the media entities (or the
V4L2 sub-devices) in user space that has got nothing to do with the devices
themselves.

We could have e.g. a list of key--value pairs where the key is a pointer
provided by the user (i.e. application, another library) that could be
associated with the value. That would avoid having explicit information on
that in the struct media_entity itself.

An quicker alternative would be to manage a list of controls e.g. in the
plugin itself and store the media entity where they're implemented in that
list, with the control value.

We are not interested in media entity -> control value relation but
but media entity -> control id. The value is an arbitrary choice of
userspace. Binding's task is to route the ctrl ioctl to a desired
pipeline entity if more than one supports same control.

Effectively we'd need a list of controls as a keys and entities
as values. The list should be allocated dynamically as it would
make no sense to keep keys for all v4l2 controls if only few bindings
are defined.

Best regards,
Jacek Anaszewski

Cc Laurent as well.
